Episode 17 : Summary and Screencaps
edit: screencaps are now uploaded
Much like last week, this episode covered nicely the events of the past. There is much less "time jump" and things go on a smooth pace, though they really skipped many thoughts and such (especially Rika's Mother and Takano)
That said, The "offer of the demon" in the part C was nice, as they had the good idea to hire Tanaka Rie (Suigintou Seiyuu) to voice the "mysterious" woman, offering this devil's deal.
I'm fairly curious how they will cover the last "pieces" episode, but they CAN involve the real "last piece"... (this person's will, with his anger... huhuhu)
I'm just wondering of something: why did they introduced Koizumi "issue" and the "deal" already? This was supposed to happen AFTER the murder of Houjou Tamae.
I don't think it is a time jump, so either a retcon, or they screwed the timeline.
